To all of the family,
All of you are in our thoughts and prayers during this tragic loss of Mrs. Judy. We met when Dana and Mallory played softball together and she is one of those people you just enjoyed being around. We would talk when I went to vote(she always worked the polls) -- she could always make you laugh---a sweet, special lady!
Cherish all of your special memories!

To the Young Family: I am just as devastated as you are. Judy was a very good friend - one that you could talk with for hours (and we did) or one that you could cry with (and we did). She was one of the wittiest people I have ever known. Judy loved her family very much and also loved her bowling family. She just won the 40 year pin for bowling in 40 National tournaments and I was with her in 32 of them. These were truly fun times. I know it is all in God's timing, but we will see you again someday, Judy! Thanks for being my friend.

I still cannot process the thought that Judy is gone from us. I
have never known anyone quite like her. She was so witty and
generous and dependable and I could go on and on. We were
mostly bowling friends for over 20 years. Bowlers have a special bond. but aside from that I knew I could call her about anything and if I needed her help she would come running. Not just me but anyone who knew her.
No words can offer the family the comfort I wish for them. But I know they know how much she loved all of you. Be strong. She is only a thought away.

Since the first time I met Judy Till the day she left us, I thought of her as our sister from another Mother. I just recently told her that. We had wonderful times together--fishing, bowling, playing cards, and just laughing, Oh what wonderful memories! She is in heaven with Jane and Daddy laughing now. Listen real close---can you hear them? I loved Judy and will miss her a lot. My thoughts are prayers are with ya'll-Jim, Jimmie, Jeannie, and Jason. Hugs!

Jimmy and Family,
I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Judy. Judy was a dear friend of mine and I so enjoyed her smiles and funny saying and all our talks and laughs that we shared over the years of bowling. Mallory and Katlynn are my family too. I know that Judy had given her heart to the Lord and that she is in her Heavenly Home now. God received a very special Angel. My prayer is that the Lord wraps His loving arms around each of you at this most difficult time and give you the strength and courage and love that you need at this difficult time. God Bless each of you and may your happy memories sustain you in the coming years. Love and prayers Barbara
